Nothing makes a vacation memorable like getting swept out to sea.
Kelsey Jackson was at the beach near Gulf Shores with her boyfriend when they took a $270 blow-up raft out into the water, Southwest News Service (SWNS) reports. According to her, things started off pleasant enough before getting out of control. "We intended to stay in the shallow area where we could touch and ride the small waves," Jackson told SWNS. "He and I were going to try it out first and then members of his family were going to come jump on the float with us. Despite the rain from the previous days, it was such a calm day. There were hardly any waves, and the gulf was very calm. There were no signs of strong currents whatsoever."More Related News
